Should you like studying the bible and choose to compliment what you’ve got leaned you are able to pay attention to christian cds that orate passage on the bible. You’re able to also download mp3′s straight for your ipod. I’ve just discovered a web site that has biblical teachings on cds. The web-site named Think about it run by Anita McAulay. She has cd’s on hand on subjects such as emotional management and spiritual strengthening. She addresses some senitive issues this kind of as anger and self image.
The earth immediately is focused on the outward appearence. if we only seem a sure way, if we only have specified items we fool ourselves we’ll be completely happy. Many us kill ourselves looking to aquire material details. these factors all work to take us away from what is unquestionably vital, what is on the inside. our minds, physique and souls are much more vital than content factors and the way we glance. all these important things will fade and turn to rust. We need to develop our treasures in heaven exactly where no thief can steal, nor moth nor rust decay.
No where by is this a good deal more correct than now once the earth is in financial turmoil. a contemporary globe teaches us the bible may be a joke, but when you take into account or probably you by no means took the time to discover, the bible forewarned that all hard earned cash techniques would fail while in the final days. Sound like now does it? inside a entire world where markets have crashed overnight, European countries like Greece and Ireland have been bailed out and around the verge on bankruptcy, an era where by the European unit of currency is about to fail would not this ring true?
Each of the topics on Anita’s webpage are addressed from a christian point of view. You are going to also be able to locate talks relevant to dread anger management, faith and forgiveness. The bible has numerous prolonged standing principles relevant to dealing with faith, forgiveness, healing and anger. In the event you go to think-about-it.org you will find a segment named “what God says Series”. The “what God say Series” is specifically just that. It functions spiritual studying from the bible you can use to declare above your life. With these readings you’re able to receive the accurate power of God’s word in excess of your existence, if you ever apply what they say.
A new study brings hope to emotional eaters everywhere by proving that crying into a vat of Rocky Road actually does make you feel better. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation shows that eating food with saturated fat may help fend off negative emotions.
The study took 12 participants and “fed” them through an unmarked stomach tube a “meal” containing either saturated fatty acids or a simple saline solution. Then scientists played sad music and showed sad pictures of sad faces. Lo and behold, the participants full of fat were more upbeat, and MRI scans showed the fatty solution seemed to dampen activity in parts of the brain that are involved in sadness. Researchers say that the results “suggest that emotional eating operates on a biological as well as psychological level,” which is finally the justification we so desperately need for plowing through a box of Little Debbies post-breakup.
Previously, science also proved that fatty foods will get you stoned and craving more fatty foods, and that we are hopeless to fight against it. Three’s a trend, people!

After disbanding in 2009, Ireland’s Chosen is now back and is currently working on a studio album with producer Alwyn Walker at the legendary Westland Studios in Dublin, Ireland. The album, which has yet to be given a title, is scheduled for release in 2012 and will be the group’s very first studio album, having put out only demos and EPs for a number of years prior.
Guitarist Paul Shields comments: “The project is really starting to take shape and we’re all very excited about what’s coming together. this album has been a long time in the making. It’s going to feel so gratifying when we finally get to release these songs to the public; songs we worked hard on, obsessed over, and allowed to consume each of us as the compositions filled our heads day after day.”
Drummer David McCann adds: “It’s been a little over two years since we announced Chosen was calling it a day back in the summer of 2009. we had lost half the band line-up due to a major personality blow-out and were left to pick up the pieces. At the time we just decided it better to announce we were throwing in the towel rather than putting up advertisements for new musicians wanted, yet again. The truth of the matter is that both Paul and I were never going to be comfortable letting all those great songs being consigned to the depths of old memories. The material deserved to be recorded properly. Reforming the band and completing what we initially set out to do was the only way either of us could move on.”
Joining forces with the two founding members of Chosen is vocalist Ray Scully and bassist Richie Brennan, both of who were already admirers of the band for some time.
Shields recollects how the circumstances were just right for making such a collaboration work: “We used a rough mix of the songs as a recruitment tool, and headhunted musicians we knew of already through our own network of friends and other bands in the Irish music scene. we were incredibly lucky to land both Ray and Richie at such a crucial stage, given that one of the main reasons we relocated to Canada in 2008 was because we couldn’t find a solid line-up of capable people in our own country or rather, people who weren’t already heavily committed to other groups.”
Drawing their musical influence from distinctive groups such as Death, Nevermore, Meshuggah, Gojira, and Cynic, the Irish act hopes to set a new precedent in what modern-day metal can and ought to sound like, with a strong emphasis on innovation, top-notch musicianship, well-crafted arrangements and inventive hooks.
As for the desired sonic value being sought after to help compliment the songs, the band’s new material promises to be interlaced with a rich audio production value, completely void of the sterile, homogeneous and plastic instrumentation factor which currently dominates the commercial metal market.
“We used a total of 27 mics on the drums alone, spending considerable time capturing a more organic drum sound instead of just sound replacing the entire kit for the sake of an easy life,” states McCann. “The room mics in particular really add a much-needed character and depth to the overall sound, something I personally feel has been lacking on our past recordings. I know it’s a well-worn out cliché, and every band always says it about their upcoming album, but this is going to be our magnum opus. no doubt about it.”
A short production video documenting the various stages of the recording process will be posted online in the near future.
Josh Groban certainly doesn’t have anything broken or in need of fixing in his career.The 30-year-old classically trained singer has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide — 21 million of them in the U.S. He’s notched 14 top 20 Adult-Contemporary hits and has guested on albums by Nelly Furtado, Placido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Charlotte Church and Groban’s producer, David Foster.And for fun he’s dabbled in acting, cameoing on TV’s “Ally McBeal” and yucking it up with late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel — setting Kanye West tweets to music for his most recent appearance. And on July 29, Groban will make his feature film debut in the romantic comedy “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”It’s all part of what Groban calls a “strange, serendipitous” life. but where most would simply stay the course, Groban has made some significant changes during the past year — on his latest album, “Illuminations,” and on the tour to support it.“Illuminations,” Groban’s fifth studio release, came out in November and has already been certified platinum. but after 11 years of working with mentor David Foster, the producer who introduced him to the world by having him sub for an ailing Andrea Bocelli at the 1999 Grammy Awards ceremony, Groban hooked up for “Illuminations” with Rick Rubin. The Grammy Award winner — whose résumé ranges from early hip-hop heroes such as Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys to rockers Slayer, Tom Petty and Kid Rock, country favorites the Dixie Chicks and iconic figures Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond — may seem like a strange bedfellow for Groban, but he and Rubin crafted a 13-song set that’s melodic with a more stripped-down kind of lushness than its predecessors.And because Groban wrote or co-wrote 11 of the tracks, it also feels far more personal and more like the work of a songwriter than a singer.“Up until this record I relied primarily on stuff that was off the shelf,” says Groban, whose last album, 2007’s holiday theme “Noel,” was a five-times platinum chart-topper. “when people start sending you songs, you either hit the jackpot, a song like (2003’s) ‘you Raise Me Up,’ or you get a whole lot of songs that you say to yourself, ‘is this really what people think of me?,’ which is often the case.“So one of the things Rick and I wanted to tackle was to add a personal flavor to whatever it is that I do and not just sing the same song and not rely on songs that maybe don’t mean as much to me personally. So he sent me off to write.”Groban says he did have “a good set of cover songs that we could have done” for the album, but the writing — with collaborators such as Semisonic’s Dan Wilson, Rufus Wainwright and his late mother, Kate McGarrigle, and British producer Marius de Vries, among others — went well. Groban “was excited about what was coming out, so we just went there.“I was looking for a nice challenge, and it was really very rewarding.”He’s approaching this year’s Straight To you Tour in much the same mindset. Reflecting the more direct sonic approach of “Illuminations,” he’s stepped away from the orchestras he would hire in each city to accompany him, instead bolstering his rhythm section with string and brass quartets that travel with him and provide an opportunity “to really have an incredibly adaptable and focused and rehearsed (group) that can decide to go someplace that maybe we didn’t go the night before and stuff like that.“It’s very, very easy to get out there and say, “OK, I’ve got a chance now to really get out there and put on a big show,” Groban explains. “but one of the things we’ve really learned in the past few years is the power of simplicity, the power of intimacy, the power of an honest to goodness connection with your crowd. That’s more of what I’m going for this time.”Nevertheless, he promises, “it’s not going to be stripped-down in dynamic.”“The energy will still be there; it’s not going to be like people are sitting in a living room. but we can be a little looser, and you can certainly expect the unexpected when it comes to the set list.”Groban — who recently launched the nonprofit find your Light Foundation to help fund programs for apsiring musicians — also hopes these changes will also allow him to be more surprising to fans as his career goes on. With plans to be on the road into 2012 supporting “Illuminations” he’s not sure what will be next, but Groban does feel a fresh sense of freedom that he considers to be his new standard operating procedure.“I just feel really blessed that I’m able to be in this game and play it by own rules,” he says. “I know that’s something that’s very rare, and it’s something I’m very grateful for.”Groban found himself the unwitting part of a big Michigan story last fall when embattled (and now former) University of Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez played the singer’s 2003 hit “you Raise Me Up” at the team’s annual banquet.Rodriguez told the crowd that night that he found solace in the words of Groban’s song, which were written by Irish composer and novelist Brendan Graham. He then had the song played while he and the team held hands.Groban recalls that he “saw Twitter blow up over something I had absolutely nothing to do with.” He added his own message to the mostly derisive onslaught, tweeting “Coach Rodriguez, I’m very flattered but crying to you Raise Me Up is SO five years ago.” Groban suggested Guns N’ Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” instead.Groban, a Los Angeles native, has no lingering thoughts about what happened at Michigan, but he is a college football fan who rooted for the University of Southern California. “I really love college football,” he says. “It’s really fun to see that kind of passion and energy — minus the greed and scandal, of course.”Josh Groban and ELEW perform at 8 p.m. July 16, at The Palace, Lapeer Road at Interstate 75, Auburn Hills. Tickets are $99.50 and $79.50. call (248) 377-0100 or visit palacenet.com.
Thirty years ago, Jane Dingle played the part of Laura in the musical comedy “Makin’ Time with the Yanks” when it played to sold-out audiences at the LSPU Hall. Next week her daughter, Rebecca de La Cour, will take on the same role when the show opens at the same venue in downtown St. John’s.
Set in 1939, the show follows Vivian, Laura and Irene, “three working class Newfoundland girls who get caught up in the thrill of making time with the Yanks, Stretch, tiny and Tom.”
The musical comedy was first produced by the Mummers Troupe in 1981, directed by Mary Walsh and starred Dingle, Janis Spence, Kay Anonsen, Brian Downey, Rick Boland and Paul Steffler, who also created and/or arranged the music.
“It’s a lot of work, but it’s so much fun for actors because you get to play three or four characters each,” Dingle recalls.
In fact, six actors play 27 characters in all.
Dingle took on the role of Laura and four other parts, including the non-fictional Newfoundland character of torch singer Nellie Ludlow.
“The songs are difficult to sing with weird configurations of sharps and flats. They’ve added harmonies to it now,” Dingle says, sipping tea on her small balcony downtown on a rare sunny day towards the end of June. “They’ve got six talented singers now, so the numbers will probably be 50 times better.”
The current show is using the same lighting designer, Boo Noseworthy.
“And Marie Sharpe is the costume designer for the show. she dressed me for shows at the Arts and Culture Centre when I was in my 20s.”
Dingle says the original group had a certain chemistry going on during the creation of the show.
“Even back then Mary (Walsh) was an excellent director. Being an actor herself, she knows how to work with actors; she knows what she wants and she has a great sense of humour.”
In 1981 Rebecca was a year old and Dingle wasn’t certain she wanted to take that time away from her daughter.
“But Mom (Melanie Dingle) encouraged me to do the show because I love the 1940s era, and to be able to sing, dance and act in that era was a real dream for me. so Mom said, ‘You do the show; I’ll look after Rebecca’.”
Thirty years later, Dingle is happily encouraging her daughter – from the other side of the stage.
“I’ve never had a chance to see the show, I’ve only performed in it, so it truly will be bizarre, but wonderful.
“I’m so glad Rebecca gets the opportunity to work with Mary and to work in St. John’s, because working here is different than working anywhere else. It’s home, it’s where she was born and she’s playing characters from St. John’s.
De La Cour has lived in Toronto since she, her sister Elena and their mother moved there in 1985.
She got her first real taste of acting, courtesy of her mother, when they lived in a housing project in Toronto. At age 11 she played Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz.”
“Mom ran a theatre group – there were sports programs but no art programs, so she decided she would teach us kids from age 7 to 18. And she was teaching us all at the university level – how to break down scenes, that kind of thing … so yes, everything I know goes back to you,” she says, flashing a smile her mother’s way.
The group played festivals and wrote shows collectively.
“Mom would hold improvisation sessions to write a show together. we toured a big variety show to different schools around Toronto. they loved it.”
Dingle even squeezed enough from the grant money to take all the kids to see live theatre shows.
The group performed at Toronto’s Jane Mallett Theatre annually for four years.
“We did original stuff on family violence, guns, whatever were issues for us got turned into art.”
When she was 16, de La Cour earned pocket money teaching kids through Peers Teaching Peers, also started by her mom.
She went on to do acting classes with casting director Karen Hazzard and currently is a member of a satirical comedy group called Cynically Tested.
Cynically Tested has done several TV shows in Toronto, including “Twixters,” based on the millennial generation, which also aired in New Zealand and the U.K and was used as an educational tool in universities in the U.S. they tried a radio pilot for CBC Radio called “The Truth From Here” and most recently a show for Rogers called “Dan Speerin’s Truth Mash-Up.”
De La Cour is also part of an original new musical based on the cabarets of Weimar-Berlin in which she is the hostess. “Kinky Kabaret” premiered in Toronto last summer to a receptive audience.
“I just want to be able to work as an actor and make a living, to pay the bills and eat,” she says. “I’m so excited to be working with Mary Walsh. She’s a comedy icon in Canada.
“I’ve loved the ‘Yanks’ show since I was a kid,” she continues. “With six actors playing six main roles along with several other secondary roles, there’s a lot of quick changing going on and with all the singing and dancing, it’s really fun.”
And being in St. John’s always feels like home, she says.
“Coming out of the airport, there’s a certain smell … it’s like you’re in another country.”
Trying to break into the same field as your well-known parents comes with its own special difficulties. Being the daughter of an actress and a songwriter (Ron Hynes) can make for a lot to live up to, and de La Cour admits taking on her mother’s role in the show came with a little uncertainty.
There are no such doubts in director Mary Walsh’s mind.
“Rebecca is perfect for the role, she’s musical by nature. She’s an enormously talented actor and singer,” says Walsh, after wrapping up the first week of rehearsals.
“We did a lot of auditions and she was the best, and one of the reasons she is the best is she’s the progeny of Ron Hynes and Jane Dingle.”
Walsh says the original show, researched, written and produced in just three weeks, was hugely successful in its day.
“They were an extraordinary crew.”
The good-time show, with music, dancing and comedy has an underlying bitter-sweetness, she says.
“In 1939, 65 per cent of the people in Newfoundland were unemployed; by 1941 with the new (American) bases, everyone was employed and there were higher wages,” she explains. “All told there was some bitterness – the town of Argentia was burned to the ground to build the base and there was land taken down in Pepperell – but economically it was a boom.”
Along with visits from celebrities “there were chocolates, nylons and hope. What the Americans brought were good times, despite everything else.
“With the exception of Jane, Paul and Brian, the rest of us weren’t musical,” she says of the 1981 production. “It was a great show then and it’s an even greater show now.”
Along with de La Cour, the cast includes Philip Goodridge, Neil Butler, Alison Woolridge, Susan Kent and Wade Tarling.
“They’re all brilliantly talented in terms of music and dancing as well as comedy.”
Walsh, who “never did leave home, only to go on the road,” is also working on a second draft of “Marg, the Movie,” based on her legendary “22-Minutes” character Marg Delahunty. In the fall she’ll be teaching satire at Memorial University’s Harlow campus in England and in March she begins a one-woman show (“Dancing with Rage”) in Toronto.
“Makin’ Time with the Yanks” runs from July 12 to 24. see the Resource Centre for the Arts website for times.

Part of Muve’s attraction is that access to unlimited song downloads is bundled with a $55-a-month plan that includes unlimited voice, data and texting. Although such services have become popular in European countries such as France and Norway, Muve represents the first music plan bundled with cellphone service in the U.S.
Jeff Toig, general manager of Muve Music, said another reason for the plan’s popularity is that it’s simple and targets Cricket’s value-focused customers.
“One phone, one plan,” Toig said. “And you get all your music essentially free as part of your wireless service. It’s really simple for people to get that.”
The service is now available only on a Samsung Suede feature phone with stripped-down capabilities that operates on the Brew platform, a mobile phone operating system developed by Qualcomm Inc. that has been around since 2001.
Songs downloaded to the phone can’t be transferred to other devices, although it has a headphone jack and can send signals wirelessly to outlets such as car stereos using the Bluetooth standard. Muve gives users access to about 2 million tracks, including new releases by major labels. It aims to boost that to over 5 million by the end of the year.
Cricket, the mobile brand of Leap Wireless International Inc. and the seventh-largest carrier covering just a third of the nation, also plans to roll out Muve on smartphones that run on Google Inc.’s Android operating system before the winter holidays.
The market leader in the mobile music subscription space is Rhapsody, which has an estimated 750,000 subscribers on its $10 per month plan. a service from Napster is estimated to have about the same number of subscribers as Muve.
I’ve been writing and/or joking a lot lately (sometimes it’s even hard for me to tell the difference) about how I want to wear some teched-out gadget filled tuxedo that combines style with tech innovations that would make my life easier.
And I do mean that sincerely: the idea of being a 21st century James Bond is alluring. But there’s something I have neglected to mention because I thought it was sort of obvious: if a gadget is large or otherwise so cumbersome it could never replace the thing you’re trying to simplify, it is stupid.
A story on TechCrunch brings this point to the forefront for me today. to author Greg Kumparak’s credit, I’m pretty sure he finds this SLR lens attachment as absurd as I do, and that makes me feel a little bit better.
But assuming this isn’t a hoax (and the product website is pretty adamant that it’s not), it is an awfully bad idea. Maybe not bad in the way that asking to get pushed down a flight of stairs might be considered a bad idea, but certainly it is an idea that shows a lack of insight into why you might want to own or carry an iPhone.
If I’m reading everything correctly, I can pay $250 dollars (plus shipping) to get an SLR mount for my iPhone that will make my iPhone nearly as big as an SLR camera would be otherwise, and it won’t even look as nice as an actual SLR camera? well, I just don’t think I can sign up fast enough.
People that have nice camera equipment have cases and bags and stuff for their nice camera equipment. They’re going to put that equipment in a bag that would probably house an actual nice camera, too! They’re not going to spend money on camera lenses and attach them to an iPhone.
And they shouldn’t. that misses the entire point. I was talking with one of my brothers a few weeks ago and he was trying to talk himself out of his own smartphone, attempting to make a list of the things he uses his current smartphone for to see if he really needed one. He began by listing the essentials like how he texts people, checks sports scores, and so forth. And he paused and then said something to the affect of how he takes a ton of pictures, too.
And that’s what makes a smartphone so useful. It’s very small, fits in your pocket, and does a number of tasks relatively well. does the iPhone have fantastic call clarity? It’s all right. does it have enough storage space for all of your music? the essential stuff, probably. nobody is going to put this on a box anytime soon, but the iPhone is “good enough” at a ton of different things, and that’s perfect.
It doesn’t need to be an SLR camera because it offers something an SLR camera doesn’t – convenience. if you had a good SLR camera you couldn’t just toss it in your pocket and strut around with it all day. to spend $250 dollars on something that would make your iPhone less convenient boggles the mind.
I want to be James Bond, but James Bond had explosives the size of cigarette cases. He didn’t affix an actual sized bomb to a normal cigarette case and call it a gadget, because that would be a terrible idea.
